Chapter 318: The Christmas War
On December 25, the United States has entered a small boiling period, the most important holiday of the year, and even the people of the slums indulge in a handful. Bubble*()
Today's NBA is undoubtedly lively, in the past, it was basically a night game, but today, they will take turns in the future, and today is a day, and 7 NBA games are arranged.
In the first game, at 9 o'clock in the morning American time, the Lakers played against the Rockets, although the Rockets did not have Yao Ming and other big players, but the two teams have many years of grievances, plus Iguodala's recent form has rebounded, the two teams still have a hint of highlights.
At 9:50, the Thunder team played against the Knicks, Durant after the battle with Huang Xiang, facing the combination of Anthony and Xiaosi, who are also strong in offense, whether he can win, this game, compared with the previous game, is more interesting.
At 11:30, a collision in the East sounded again, and the Bulls and Clippers will have a men's collision on the Bulls' home court. Griffin and Rose and Boozer, three iron-blooded men for a victory, believe the game will not be unexciting.
At 2:30 p.m., the Hornets take on the Trail Blazers, Roy's return and rapid upsurge in form, coupled with Aldridge's invincible performance, they and Paul will compete for match point in New Orleans.
At 4 o'clock, the Nets played against the Hawks, Deron has been in poor form recently since losing to the Cavaliers, will he get back to his former form in this game? And will the Eagle King give him a chance?
At 5:30, the Mavericks played against the Grizzlies, last year's grudges, today again on the surface, both sides have adjusted the lineups, but the real main force has not changed, they will start this line of play at the Mavericks' home court.
The final game can be said to be the real pinnacle battle, the Cavaliers, home to the Miami Heat, the Cavaliers will take away their 13 consecutive wins, or the Heat will beat the Cavaliers again, this will ask Huang Xiang and James and other main forces will release the water.
"Merry Christmas!" After saying hello to the last staff member he met, Huang Xiang slowly walked into the training ground, fortunately, he was not the last one to come today, Carter and the others had not yet appeared.
Taking off his coat and changing clothes directly in the training ground, Huang Xiang jumped on the spot and then walked into the field to start training.
The Cavaliers didn't want to be sloppy at all in the evening game, why? Because the pain caused by the Heat, if not the heaviest, can also be ranked among the top three opponents they want to beat.
The intense training didn't last long, everyone was back to their homes before noon, and today was Christmas, and although training was needed, the holiday still needed to be done.
The Heat, on the other hand, didn't feel the Christmas atmosphere at all after arriving in Cleveland, because even at Christmas, there were hundreds of fans waiting for them at the airport in broad daylight, but they didn't welcome them, but came to give pressure to the Heat.
"Shit Heat, Roll Miami"
"James, the Heat's bitch"
"James, you shame on Cleveland."
"James, you're Wade's grandson."
…… Hundreds of people cursed together, but the most of the curses were given to James, to the guy who betrayed the Cavaliers.
"It seems that for more than a year, they still take a lot of care of you." Wade looked at James with a smile, it's been a year, it's been a year since I came to the Heat, but where's my ring?
At 8:30 p.m., the Cavaliers and the Heat slowly entered the court, today is Christmas, so Santa Claus hats were distributed for free on the spot, and the number of people who came to watch the game today reached 21,234 people, the channel has been full, and even the VIP seats are full.
There are many big-name movie stars and singers on the sidelines, and there is only one woman who has attracted the attention of more than 20,000 people in the entire arena, Rosie, the Transformers heroine.
once sang a song for Huang Xiang at Huang Xiang's birthday party and participated in a basketball game with a man for Huang Xiang, and the encounter at the airport was certainly not simple in people's eyes.
Before the game began, Rosie got up and waved at Huang Xiang, and it was none other than the old man Ouyang Mingyang who was sitting next to Rossi.
"Damn, this kid is too obvious, is this little girl Huang Xiang's junior?" Ouyang Mingyang's head does not have the slightest idea that an elderly person should have, and his openness is not weaker than that of other post-80s and post-90s.
Rosie beside her glanced at Ouyang Mingyang beside her, what the hell was this old guy talking about, yes, this guy didn't understand at all, so she didn't know what Ouyang Mingyang just said.
Feeling Rosie's gaze, Ouyang Mingyang pursed his lips disdainfully, whether you are a junior or not, anyway, your motives are not pure.
At the beginning of the game, Huang Xiang and Wade greeted each other and stood in position, first introducing the lineups of the two sides.
Cavaliers, point guard Iverson, scoring guard Huang Xiang, small forward Jones, power forward Garnett, center Howard.
The Heat lineup has made a little adjustment compared to the previous game, point guard Chalmers, scoring guard Wade, small forward James, big forward Bosh, and center Dampier.
At the start of the jump ball, Howard and Dampier stood in the midfield, the referee threw the basketball high, Howard did not drag the mud, slapped the basketball at Iverson, Iverson received the ball and rushed across the half court.
Only Huang Xiang crossed the half court with Iverson at the same time, and the two faced the four members of the Heat team without fear.
Iverson handed the basketball to Huang Xiang, Huang Xiang rushed forward and rushed into the interior with Wade, while James instantly gave up rounding up Jones and went straight to Huang Xiang.
Huang Xiang laughed secretly in his heart, you guys underestimate me too much, right?
Huang Xiang burst into his heart, and then his body accelerated twice and rushed into the inside line to hold the basketball high above the country's head, dunk it into the basket fiercely, and scored, 5.3 seconds later, the Cavaliers took the lead in scoring through a violent dunk by Huang Xiang.
The Cavaliers have lost just two games this year, the first against the Heat, and the second loss was a back-to-back by the Nuggets.
In the face of the old enemy, Huang Xiang's state is so explosive, today's game is definitely not ordinary.
"Good form, thanks for your pass." Huang Xiang smiled, and then ran through the half with Iverson.
Wade took Chalmers's pass, Huang Xiang opened his hands and directly pasted it, and in the face of Wade's attack, he unceremoniously stretched out his big hand and pulled out the basketball in his hand.
Wade flashed back, dodged Huang Xiang's big hand and then handed the basketball to James on the side, James took the ball and stepped forward, facing Jones's defense and directly ignored and rushed over, Wade got rid of Huang Xiang's defense at the same time, James basketball shook and passed out, the two hit the inside line at the same time and finally ended the attack with Wade's layup, and the basketball fell into the net.
"Hey, hey, hey Huang Xiang looked at Wade in front of him and said with a smile, although they are opponents, but after several games, they have become friends.
"You're not bad, it's Christmas, and I'm going to celebrate my child with a victory." Although Wade didn't laugh, Huang Xiang could feel from his tone that this guy was in a good mood.
Iverson dribbled the ball across the half court and then hoisted it inside to Howard, who stepped back and pushed Dampier's body forward, pressing Dampier and slamming the basketball into the basket, and the second attack was still a dunk.
"Bang Dang" basketball was smashed into the hoop by Howard and made a shocking sound, the whole court was boiling, this kind of offense, they especially like it.
Although Howard's offensive style is not as direct and violent as O'Neal, he is also a more violent type, and the dunk is simply easy for this guy who claims to have the most perfect muscles in the NBA.
The Heat turned around and responded with 70 degrees and two points, James hit a mid-range shot, and the Cavaliers offense relied on an assist from Huang Xiang to give Iverson a layup.
Both sides started to play relatively fast, and the shooting rate was surprisingly high, 5 minutes and 32 seconds in the first quarter, the Cavaliers 13:13 Heat, there was no difference between the two sides, and it also showed that the two sides played a match.
However, this result is very dissatisfied with the Cavaliers fans, and they are not ahead, although the opponent is very strong, but they can't not be ahead by one point.
Then Huang Xiang did not play, Carter came off the bench, and at this time, Scott's task to Huang Xiang was to quickly find James's flaws, although the Heat is a two-outside core, but James is more deterrent than Wade.
The game on the court continued, and there was not much spark in the confrontation between Carter and Wade, and the Heat team at this time handed the ball to James in a row, and Wade seemed to be very convinced, I don't know what the reason was.
James's continuous breakthroughs are still very clear about his weaknesses, but he always walks to the basket, but the league policy is still very relaxed for this guy.
"So it's still like this, please, in this case, unless the referee directly gives him a foul." Huang Xiang looked at James speechlessly.
"Yes, I believe you will have such privileges in the future." Howard said while sipping his drink, such a privilege is only available to the best superstars, Huang Xiang, there should be such an opportunity.
James's scoring made the atmosphere of the scene directly into a red state, this traitor always scores on the home court of the Cavaliers, which is worth it, you know, James is a traitor to the Cavaliers.
"James, why don't you die?"
"Huang Xiang, let Huang Xiang play?"
"Huang Xiang, Huang Xiang, Huang Xiang......" The shouts of fans rang out at the scene, but in the end, the call of Huang Xiang resounded throughout the stadium.
Huang Xiang glanced at Scott next to him, who nodded at him, and then after only two minutes of Carter's play, Huang Xiang played again.
